Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Given its intimate sillage and very short longevity, Zagara is best suited for casual wear or sports where a light, refreshing scent is desired. It's too subtle for formal events and might require frequent reapplication for a date.

About

Zagara opens with an immediate, vivid burst of zesty citrus, where bright bergamot, grapefruit, and lemon verbena intertwine with a whisper of aromatic lavender and the green nuance of petitgrain. This vibrant start quickly blossoms into the heart of authentic orange blossom, complemented by soft jasmine and a touch of spicy carnation. It's a clean, almost soapy rendition, settling into a barely-there, ethereal oakmoss dry-down that evaporates almost as soon as it appears.
